Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Elpaal, as it is a Hebrew proper noun specific to the Old Testament genealogies.

Usage: Elpaal is used as a proper noun, specifically a personal name, in the Hebrew Bible.

Context: Elpaal is a name found in the genealogical records of the tribe of Benjamin. He is mentioned in 1 Chronicles 8:11-12, where he is listed as a descendant of Benjamin and an ancestor of several notable figures. The passage in 1 Chronicles 8:11-12 (BSB) states: "He also had sons by Hushim: Abitub and Elpaal. The sons of Elpaal: Eber, Misham, Shemed (who built Ono and Lod with its towns)." This indicates that Elpaal was a progenitor of a line that contributed to the development of certain regions, specifically the towns of Ono and Lod. The genealogical context suggests that Elpaal's descendants played a role in the settlement and expansion of the Benjamite territory. The name Elpaal reflects a theophoric element, common in Hebrew names, indicating a recognition of divine action or presence in the life of the individual or their lineage.
